Bikes: 87 RockHopper,2008 Specialized Globe. Both upgraded to 9 speeds. 2019 Giant Explore E+3

Which spoke(s)?
Front/rear
Drive side/non drive side?

IF everything is rear NDS, I'd have all those spokes replaced with double butted (14-15 or 14-16 gauge) and both wheels properly tensioned.

BTW When I weighed 250-260, I had no problem with "properly built" 32 spoke wheels on good pavement.
